Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients

6 each bone-in pork chops, about 3/4 inch thick
1 tablespoon Ellbee's Sweet & Smoky Gourmet Garlic
1 teaspoon Ellbee's Asian Zing Gourmet Garlic
0.25 cup brown sugar
0.25 cup ketchup
2 tablespoons Ellbee's Honey Ginger Balsamic Vinegar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 each apples, cut into wedges
rice and green beans, for serving

Method

Heat oven to 375°F. Season the pork chops with Sweet & Smoky Garlic and Asian Zing Garlic.
Whisk brown sugar, ketchup, Honey Ginger Balsamic, and Dijon mustard into a smooth glaze. Pour half into a baking dish, nestle in the pork chops and apples, then spoon the remaining glaze over the top.
Bake uncovered for 25 to 30 minutes, until the pork reaches 145°F and the glaze is bubbling. Broil for 1 to 2 minutes if you want extra caramelized edges.
Rest the pork for 5 minutes, then serve with rice, green beans, and the glossy apples from the pan.

Notes

Time: 45 min

Kitchen tip: The glaze is excellent on chicken thighs too. Keep a double batch in the refrigerator for a fast second dinner later in the week.
